Hello from Amazon.com.

We noticed you cancelled your order# XXXXXXX originally placed during the Lightning Deal promotion for the Xbox 360 Arcade console on November 7, 2009. If you cancelled your order due to problems with the promotion, we want to make sure you can take advantage of this deal if you're still interested.

If you order an Xbox 360 Arcade Console by 11:59pm PT on November 14, your order will qualify you for the $100 promotional code. The $100 promotional code does not apply to the purchase of the Xbox 360 Arcade itself, but is valid for a qualifying future purchase. The offer is limit one per household and is not transferable.

To order the console, go to the product’s detail page listed below, add it to your cart for $199.99, and check out as normal. Please note, Amazon.com must be the seller in order for you to qualify for the promotion.

is amazon still sellin old 360s that RROD? might pick 1 up if they are RROD proof.

Unlikely. They don't actually stock stuff like 360's or PS3's. They have them drop-shipped from regional supply houses like Ingram Micro that satisfy orders for dozens of retailers and e-tailers. So, chances are very good that the stock is recent.

I'm glad to see Amazon going toe-to-toe with Walmart this year. If you look at the lightning deals for Saturday, they seem to match up to the various Walmart deals. They already have the S360 Blu-ray player for $151 (free ship, no tax) vs Walmart's $148--but it's out of stock, so I wonder what they'll be offering instead?

EDIT: Hmmm... S360 just jumped back in stock on AMZ.

If this price war keeps up, by the time we get to Black Friday, they'll be paying US to take stuff!
